Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 606

Bryce heard the helicopter too, immediately tightening his grip on Whitney's hand. Unlike her restless demeanor, Bryce seemed composed, a shadow of determination flitting across his soft features as he pulled her into his embrace, a cold smirk playing on his lips. "Whitney, don't worry!

The moment I knew he'd come, I stationed guards on every corner, three layers deep outside the hotel. Ludwik wouldn't stand a chance of getting in.

Banyan City is the Lutz family's turf. If he dares to barge in, he'll leave in a body bag.

And I don't believe for a second he'd have the guts to snatch my wife in front of all these people!

What's Ludwik to us, anyway? Would he really tarnish the Lippert family's reputation like that? We've got reporters broadcasting our wedding live!”

Whitney's lips quivered, sealing shut. Others might not understand Ludwik, but she did.

She'd seen him at his craziest, knew of the obsession that ruled his heart, uncertain of what lengths he might go to.

The wedding was about to start, and she could save Sammy. She wasn't willing to take any risks.

"Bryce, let's leave the ceremony for now. I don't want to see him. We can have the ceremony later," Whitney suggested, a cloud of worry shadowing her brow.

Bryce gave her a complex look. "Don't worry too much. Let's go toast our elders first."

He was well aware of Ludwik's capabilities and, although doubtful Ludwik could get past the security, now wasn't the time for a direct confrontation, especially with no word yet from Wade Patrick...

Ludwik stepped down from the helicopter.

Parker was on the phone, "Ludwik, haven't you reached yet?

Just don't go... Bryce made the wedding a grand affair. Photos and videos from the venue are all over the internet.

They've got a bunch of reporters covering it live, every social media platform and trending search is filled with news of Whitney's wedding,

Check the trending news if you don't believe me.

Bryce did this on purpose. With so many reporters there, I'm worried Jason will spot you first.

If you cause a scene at the wedding, it'll kill your father.

And as the leading family, the Lipperts won't tolerate you tarnishing their reputation, right?

Your every move affects the Lippert Group's reputation in Harmonia Country..."

Beep beep—

The line went dead.

Ludwik had hung up!

Parker let out a breath, sensing things were going to take a turn for the worse, his brow furrowed in worry.

Natalie beside him was pale as a sheet.

Ludwik, phone in hand, stood under the helicopter, the clear sky and the morning sun painfully bright.

His mind was blank, his fingers stiff as if frozen, yet he couldn’t help but check the trending news on his phone.

Without even searching, Whitney and Bryce's wedding news was buzzing with discussion.

Photos of her in her wedding dress, standing at the hotel lobby holding a bouquet, ready to walk towards Bryce, were everywhere.

The video played the solemn wedding march... she looked as beautiful as a swan, her eyes still bright and proud, but now filled with a tender, loving smile.

Ludwik saw a peaceful, happy future in her eyes.

How could she, marry another man and find happiness?!

The curve of her smile was so enticing.

He'd always known she was beautiful. From the moment they met three years ago, he knew, which is why he wanted her to bear his child, thinking her genes were exceptional, even if she was a Tennyson. He'd rather wear a mask than deal with her troubles.

Hah...
